1 Corinthians 7:15-20

15Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called 1us 23to peace. 16For how do you know, O wife, whether you will 4save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

17Only, 5as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And 6so I direct in 7all the churches. 18Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? 8He is not to be circumcised. 199Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is 10the keeping of the commandments of God. 2011Each man must remain in that 12condition in which he was called.
